Prince Andrew will have a chance to review a 2009 settlement agreement that he hopes will shield him from a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing a woman two decades ago, when she was underage.
The prince, 61, has not been charged with crimes, and has"categorically" denied Giuffre's claims against him.
At a hearing last month, Brettler told the judge overseeing Giuffre's lawsuit that he believed the agreement"absolves our client from any and all liability."David Boies, one of the lawyers, said in a court filing last month that he believed the settlement was"irrelevant" to Giuffre's case against Andrew.of forcing her to have sex when she was underage at the London home of Epstein's longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Andrew faces an October 29 deadline to formally respond to Giuffre's lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages.
